MARVEL'S IRON FIST
If you'd like to click on the photo of the glowing Iron Fist above, it'll take you to my Screen Rant Feature entitled Is Iron First Really The Worst Marvel-Netflix Show? There's a simple one word answer, but the couple of thousand words elaborates in greater detail. Iron Fist faces my kung fu finisher: The Clacking of the Furious Keyboard.
Here are some tweets with some extra musing on Iron Fist:
#IronFist is like the story of the Trump kids being harrassed by some weird, homeless, curly-haired, white kung fu guy.— John Orquiola (@BackoftheHead) March 17, 2017
#IronFist is weird. It feels unfinished. As if the filmmakers didn't pick the best takes of each scene and went with rehearsal takes.— John Orquiola (@BackoftheHead) March 17, 2017
#IronFist might be the first television series made up entirely of deleted scenes edited together.— John Orquiola (@BackoftheHead) March 17, 2017
#IronFist is like a Jekyll and Hyde show, if Jekyll were an incompetent idiot and Hyde really just isn't that impressive at kung fu,— John Orquiola (@BackoftheHead) March 17, 2017
For a kung fu superhero who's shirtless a lot, Danny Rand has the least impressive physique. Hugh Jackman in 2000 would laugh at #IronFist.— John Orquiola (@BackoftheHead) March 18, 2017
If #IronFist revealed the Hand is responsible for the phrase "Talk to the Hand," that would at least make them seem really evil.— John Orquiola (@BackoftheHead) March 18, 2017
The #Highlander homages nee Immortality are kinda neat, but if #IronFist wants a Central Park sword duel, it shoulda been on the Bow Bridge.— John Orquiola (@BackoftheHead) March 18, 2017
Watched the whole season. Finn Jones miscast, not because he's white. He never comes across like a martial artist, much less the #IronFist.— John Orquiola (@BackoftheHead) March 18, 2017
Every time Finn Jones fights he looks like Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach. Even his stuntmen do. #IronFist fights are never once convincing.— John Orquiola (@BackoftheHead) March 18, 2017
Maybe #IronFist should've cast an Asian-American. They definitely should have cast someone charismatic who is a believable martial artist.— John Orquiola (@BackoftheHead) March 18, 2017
#IronFist is also a show where no one with bloody hands washes their hands before doing things like signing forms or typing on a laptop.— John Orquiola (@BackoftheHead) March 18, 2017
When Carrie-Ann Moss has scenes with Finn Jones in #IronFist and you remember she was a better action hero than Danny Rand ever was. pic.twitter.com/UcxDygOJ7T— John Orquiola (@BackoftheHead) March 18, 2017
